Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces (can use frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium finely chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (4.5 oz) can chopped green chiles, undrained
  • 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 (14 oz) cans fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • Toppings: cheddar cheese, corn, cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Sauté Onion:

    Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté (Normal). Pour in 1 tablespoon olive oil and add the onion. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
  • Cook Aromatics:

    Add the garlic, cumin, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
  • Add Chicken and Beans:

    Mix in the chicken (fresh or frozen), green chiles with their liquid, beans, and chicken broth.
  • Pressure Cook Chili:

    Deactivate Sauté, then close and lock the Instant Pot lid. Pressure cook on Manual/High for 12 minutes (if using frozen chicken, increase to 15 minutes).
  • Quick Release Pressure:

    After cooking, perform a Quick Release of the pressure. Open the lid cautiously. Give the chili a stir.
  • Stir in Yogurt:

    Allow to rest for 1–2 minutes, then incorporate the Greek yogurt until the mixture is velvety and uniform.
